Chapter 5 - POEM 5 : “You Walked In Like You Owned My Heart”

You didn't ask for permission,

You didn't wait in line,

You just walked into my world

Like it was already yours to define.

And the worst part?

I didn't even try to stop you,

I just stood there smiling

Like I was supposed to let you through.

Who gave you that confidence?

That calm, effortless control?

The way you look at me sometimes

Feels like you already know my soul.

You talk like you've known me forever,

Tease me like I'm already yours,

And somehow, instead of resisting,

I keep wanting more.

I should be careful, I know,

People like you are dangerous,

The kind that feels like magic

But leaves hearts restless.

But then again…

What if you're not the danger?

What if you're the answer

I've been waiting for as a stranger?

Because every time you come closer,

I lose another reason to run,

And every little moment with you

Feels like something has just begun.

So if this is your way of entering,

Then I should probably warn you too—

You didn't just walk into my life…

You walked straight into something true.
